How the USF impacts your VoIP business

Whether you are a wireline phone company, wireless, paging service or VoIP provider, the FCC mandates that all these businesses must contribute to the Universal Service Fund (USF). This tax is based on a percentage of the interstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues.

If you feel your contributions to the USF are excessive then you might want to learn more. We did some research into safe harbor rates set by the USF. We also looked into User Interstate/International Percentage analysis and made some startling discoveries.

This eBook covers the following topics:

  • What the Federal Universal Service is and why it was created
  • Who pays for the Universal Service Fund
  • VoIP service providers contributions to the USF
  • What is PIU and how does it affect you
  • What is β€œsafe harbor” for VoIP services
  • How to reduce USF contributions for your business
  • Cost savings through a theoretical PIU analysis case study

In a highly competitive market, any advantage, no matter how big or small, can give you the edge to grow your business.Β  Download eBook
